In November 2019, the railroad finally raised the Can Opener Bridge another 8 inches, from 11' 8" to a total of 12 feet 4 inches, but that was still not enough, as trucks are still hitting the bridge and still getting their containers damaged or torn open.

The council did setup lots of warnings signs to truck drivers, telling them they are overheight and should divert, but at least once a month one truck driver doesn’t see the warning signs and drives under the bridge anyway, and in so doing, has the top of their truck ripped off.

The reason the road cannot be lowered is because there are sewer lines and water pipes below the roads surface, and the council could not lower the roads surface any further. Also if they wanted move the pipes, it would cost millions of dollars and will cause important utilities to be shut down for weeks or even months. So it’s not practical.

Thanks for watching.
